JONATHAN    NIELD 


"  These  Historical  Novels  have  taught  all  men  this  truth,  which  looks 
Hire  a  truism,  and  yet  was  as  good  as  unknown  to  writers  of  history 
and  others,  till  so  taught :  that  the  bygone  ages  of  the  world  were  actually 
filled  by  living  men,  not  by  protocols,  state-papers,  controversies,  and 
abstractions  of  men."

with  the  England  of  "  South  Sea  Bubble"  clays. 


PREFACE   TO    THE   THIRD    EDITION. 

THERE  is  a  justifiable  feeling  against  superfluous  prefaces, 
and  the  fact  that  this  little  volume  is  entering  the  third 
stage  of  its  existence  might  appear  to  suggest  that  the  time 
had  gone  by  for  explanations.  In  the  present  instance, 
however,  when  something  like  a  "new"  book  is  offered, 
an  extra  word  or  two  may  not  be  altogether  out  of  place. 
The  old  saying,  "  experience  teaches,"  holds  good  pre- 
eminently in  the  case  of  a  work  of  reference;  errors  of 
omission  and  commission  are  pointed  out  in  this  or  that 
quarter,  and  not  infrequently  a  criticism  of  the  kind  may 
be  accepted  as  the  basis  of  genuine  improvement.  This 
must  be  my  plea  in  response  to  objectors  who,  possessing 
the  earlier  incomplete  editions,  feel  somewhat  aggrieved  on 
learning  that  such  substantial  changes  and  additions  have 
been  made !  The  very  kind  reception  accorded  my  original 
effort  led  me  to  at  once  embark  on  labours  which,  without 
any  such  encouragement,  I  could  scarcely  have  faced.  At 
this  point  I  should  like  to  specify  the  many  suggestions 
and  criticisms  from  which  I  have  tried  to  reap  profit,  but 
conditions  of  space  forbid,  and  I  must  content  myself  with 
expressing  my  obligations  in  one  direction  only.  To  Prof. 
C.  S.  Fearenside,  who  has  done  such  good  work  in  the 
department  of  History  proper,  I  am  indebted  for  exceed- 
ingly valuable  advice. 


Perhaps  I  shall  best  serve  those  consulting  my  pages  if 
I  briefly  enumerate  the  principal  features  in  this  new 
edition.  Passing  over  general  revision  and  enlargement,  I 
would  call  attention  to  the  following  points  : — 

(i.)  Detailed  description  of  individual  books  (with 
special  reference  to  localities  and  personages),  instead  of 
vague,  general  groupings  like  "  Norman  Conquest," 
"  French  Revolution,"  &c.,  &c.  It  is  hoped  that  the  use- 
fulness of  the  list  will  be  thereby  so  greatly  enhanced  as  to 
justify  the  labour  involved  in  this  extra  specification. 

(2.)  Large  increase  in  the  "  Supplementary  List "  of 
semi-historical  novels.  It  was  felt  that  (as  an  appreciative 
reviewer  in  The  Journal  of  Education  pointed  out)  many 
works  originally  placed  in  the  general  list  might,  with 
great  advantage,  be  transferred  to  this  supplementary 
section.  Moreover,  several  entirely  new  novels  have  been 
brought  in. 

(3.)  Specially  good  books  have  been  marked.  This  will, 
I  trust,  meet  the  objection  made  in  a  few  quarters  that  my 
choice  was  too  comprehensive.  Moreover,  a  list  of  "  Fifty 
Representative  Historical  Novels  "  (already  printed  else- 
where) is  offered  for  the  consideration  of  those  readers  who 
approach  Romance  in  a  more  or  less  critical  mood. 

(4.)  Amalgamation  of  the  two  Juvenile  Lists  (English 
History).  Books  with  decidedly  "Boyish"  or  "Girlish" 
tendencies  are  marked  accordingly.  Many  new  tales  have 
been  added  in  this  department. 

(5.)  Throughout  the  volume  American  Publishers  are 
given  as  well  as  English. 

(6.)  Original  publication  dates  have  been  given  (Authors 
and  Titles  Index) ;  in  the  case  of  a  translation,  the  date  is 
that  of  the  book  in  its  first  form  (French,  German,  Hun- 

xii. 


garian,  &c.)  Wherever  possible,  the  titk-page  date  has 
been  taken.  My  special  reason  for  inserting  these  dates,  at 
no  little  cost  of  time  and  pains,  is  to  show  those  who  care 
for  such  knowledge,  under  what  period  of  historical  criticism 
or  non-criticism  any  book  was  written.  Moreover,  such 
dates  may  be  of  assistance  to  bibliographers  generally. 

(7.)  Lastly,  three-column  arrangement  of  lists  —  thus 
enabling  the  tabular  form  to  be  straight  down  instead  of 
across  the  page ;  this  will,  I  feel  sure,  be  much  handier  in 
the  case  of  quick  reference. 

There  is  one  small  matter  to  which  I  would  allude. 
Through  the  mis-reading,  doubtless,  of  a  passage  in  my 
Introduction,  I  see  that  a  too  indulgent  critic  has  ascribed 
to  me  an  achievement  to  which  I  cannot  lay  claim. 
Though  a  lover  of  Historical  Novels,  I  have  not  "  read 
thousands  of  such  works  " ;  the  compliment  is  a  doubtful 
one!

PREFACE   TO    THE   SECOND   EDITION. 

THE  opinion  having  been  very  generally  expressed  that  an 
Index  of  Authors  and  Titles  was  essential  in  a  work  of  refer- 
ence such  as  the  present,  the  author  gladly  avails  himself 
of  the  opportunity  (so  soon  given  !)  to  remedy  the  defect  in 
this  respect.  As  regards  the  List  itself,  some  mistakes  of 
spelling,  &c.,  have  been  corrected,  but  no  attempt  has  been 
made  to  add  fresh  examples.  In  the  two  or  three  months 
since  preparation,  very  few  noticeable  historical  romances 
have  appeared ;  should,  however,  the  kind  reception  given 
to  the  little  volume  on  its  first  appearance  be  extended  to 
it  in  this  slightly  enlarged  form — thus  admitting  of  still 
further  revision — every  effort  will  be  made  to  keep  the  List 
as  up-to-date  as  possible. 

Several  of  the  minor  criticisms  which  have  been  passed 
on  the  author's  method  scarcely  call  for  notice,  but  some- 
thing may,  perhaps,  be  said  in  regard  to  two  objections 
which  have  been  made.  Firstly,  a  misunderstanding  seems 
to  have  prevailed  in  certain  quarters  over  the  Suggested 
Courses  of  Reading  (Juvenile).  These  were  drawn  up 
primarily  with  a  view  to  assist  Parents  and  Teachers  who 
might  wish  to  know  of  likely  books  dealing  with  the  various 
English  Reigns;  it  never  occurred  to  the  compiler  that 
such  "  suggested  courses  "  would  be  taken  as  dictating  to 
young  people  what  they  should  read !  Secondly,  it  has 

xv. 


been  urged  that  the  List  is  too  comprehensive  (though,  it 
should  be  mentioned,  this  very  feature  of  indusiveness  has 
been  specially  commended  in  other  critical  quarters).  In 
the  early  stages  of  compilation  a  much  more  restricted 
method  was  adopted,  but,  in  deference  to  opinions  ex- 
pressed on  the  part  of  Educational  and  other  authorities, 
besides  a  growing  conviction  on  the  compiler's  own  part, 
the  List  was  greatly  expanded.  It  was  specially  implied 
that  the  term  "  best  "  was  to  be  taken  in  the  sense  of  "  best 
available "  for  the  several  sections,  and  the  choice  was 
made  with  a  due  regard  to  varieties  of  taste,  &c.  Certainly 
it  was  nowhere  hinted  (as  one  reviewer  seemed  to  suggest) 
that  writers  like  James,  Ainsworth,  Grant,  &c.,  were  to  be 
classed  among  "  best  authors  " — indeed,  the  very  contrary 
was  asserted  in  the  Introduction  itself.  To  anyone  calling 
in  question  the  claim  made  for  the  List,  that  it  is  select  and 
something  more  than  a  mere  Catalogue,  at  least  one  very 
simple  test  may  be  suggested  ;  let  such  a  sceptical  reader 
compare  the  list  here  offered  with  that  compiled  by  Mr. 
Bowen,  and  he  will  find  that,  of  the  1160  or  so  books  given 
in  the  latter,  not  more  than  about  250  reappear. 

That  the  "  Guide  **  has  proved  of  use  to  some  may  be 
inferred  from  the  fact  that  a  new  edition  is  called  for  within 
so  short  a  time.  It  has  been  stated  in  one  quarter  that  the 
idea  of  the  book  was  praiseworthy  enough,  but  impossible 
to  carry  out ;  may  not  the  old  saying — solvitur  ambulando — 
be,  to  some  extent,  applied  here  ?

INTRODUCTION. 

IT  is  not  proposed,  in  these  preliminary  remarks,  to  sketch 
in  detail  the  origin  and  growth  of  the  Historical  Novel ; 
this  has  already  been  amply  done  by  Professor  Saintsbury 
and  others.  I  shall  be  content  to  approach  the  subject  on 
its  general  side,  offering,  at  the  same  time,  some  critical 
suggestions  which  will,  I  hope,  not  be  without  value  to 
readers  of  Romance. 

But,  first  of  all,  I  must  explain  how  the  List  which 
follows  came  to  be  compiled,  and  the  object  I  have  in  offer- 
ing it.  For  many  years  I  have  been  an  assiduous  reader 
of  novels  and  tales  in  which  the  historical  element  appeared, 
supplementing  my  own  reading  in  this  direction  by  a  care- 
ful study  of  all  that  I  could  find  in  the  way  of  Criticism  on 
such  works  and  their  writers.  Only  in  this  way  could  I 
venture  on  a  selection  involving  a  survey  of  several 
thousand  volumes !  With  the  above  understanding,  I  can 
say  that  no  book  has  been  inserted  without  some  reason,  while 
I  have  made  all  possible  effort  to  obtain  accuracy  of 
description.  And  this  leads  me  to  remark,  that  just  in  this 
process  of  selection  do  I  claim  originality  for  my  List. 
Nearly  twenty  years  ago  an  excellent  "Descriptive  Cata- 
logue of  Historical  Novels  and  Tales  "  was  published  ;  Mr. 
H.  Courthope  Bowen  was  the  compiler,*  and  I  would  here 

*  "  A  Descriptive  Catalogue  of  Historical  Novels  and  Tales  for  the  use 
of  School  Libraries  and  Teachers  of  History,"  comp.led  and  dt  scribed  by 
H.  Courthope  Bowen,  M.A.  (hdward  Stanlord,  1882  ;  and  Scubncr  and 
Welford,  1884.)

mention  my  indebtedness  to  him.  In  Mr.  Bowen's  list, 
however,  one  finds  good  and  bad  alike — all  the  works  of 
even  such  moderately  endowed  writers  as  G.  P.  R.  James, 
Ainsworth,  Grant,  &c.,  are  there  set  down.  It  seemed  to 
me  that,  not  only  was  there  room  for  a  new  list  of  Histori- 
cal Novels  (Stevenson,  Marion  Crawford,  Conan  Doyle, 
Weyman,  Mason,  and  a  number  of  more  or  less  capable 
romancists  having  come  forward  in  the  last  twenty  years), 
but,  also,  that  more  than  ever  was  there  a  need  for  some 
sort  of  cine  in  the  search  for  such  books.  In  the  last  year 
or  two  there  has  been  an  almost  alarming  influx  in  this  de- 
partment of  Fiction,  and  teachers  in  schools,  besides 
readers  in  general,  may  be  glad  to  be  saved  a  somewhat 
tedious  investigation. 

Having  thus  attempted  to  justify  the  existence  of  my 
little  "Guide,"  I  pass  on  to  deal  with  the  subject  of 
Historical  Fiction  itself.  Most  of  us,  I  suppose,  at  one 
time  or  another  have  experienced  a  thrill  of  interest  when 
some  prominent  personage,  whom  we  knew  well  by  repute, 
came  before  us  in  the  flesh.  We  watched  his  manner,  and 
noted  all  those  shades  of  expression  which,  in  another's 
countenance,  we  should  have  passed  by  unheeded.  Well, 
it  seems  to  me  that,  parallel  with  this  experience,  is  that 
which  we  gain  when,  reading  some  first-rank  romance,  we 
encounter  in  its  pages  a  figure  with  which  History  has 
made  us  more  or  less  familiar.  And  I  would  remark  that 
the  great  masters  do  not,  as  a  rule,  make  that  mistake 
which  less  skilful  writers  fall  into — the  mistake  of  intro- 
ducing well-known  historical  figures  too  frequently.  The 
Cromwell  of  "  Woodstock  "  has  an  element  of  mystery 
about  him,  even  while  he  stands  out  before  our  mental 
vision  in  bold  relief.  Had  Scott  brought  him  more  pro- 


minently  into  the  plot,  and  thus  emphasized  the  fictional 
aspect  of  his  figure,  our  interest  in  the  story,  as  such, 
might  have  been  sustained,  but  we  should  have  lost  that 
atmosphere  of  vraisemblance  which,  under  a  more  careful 
reserve,  the  hand  of  the  master  has  wrought  for  us. 

But  it  is  not  only  this  introduction  of  personalities  which 
constitutes  a  novel  "  historical"  ;  the  mere  allusion  to  real 
events,  or  the  introduction  of  dates,  may  give  us  sufficient 
ground  for  identifying  the  period  with  which  a  novel  deals. 
Of  course,  the  question  as  to  whether  a  particular  person 
or  event  is  truly  historical,  is  not  always  an  easy  one  to 
answer.  By  the  adaptation  in  it  of  some  purely  mythical 
character  or  event,  a  novel  is  no  more  constituted  "  histori- 
cal "  than  is  a  fairy-tale  by  the  adaptation  of  folk-lore. 
King  Arthur  and  Robin  Hood  are  unhistorical,  and,  if  I 
have  ventured  to  insert  in  my  list  certain  tales  which  deal 
with  the  latter,  it  is  not  on  that  account,  but  because  other 
figures  truly  historical  (e.g.,  Richard  I.)  appear.  As  there 
has  been  some  dispute  on  this  question  of  the  Historical 
Novel  proper,  I  offer  the  following  definition  : — A  Novel  is 
rendered  Historical  by  the  introduction  of  dates,  personages, 
or  events,  to  which  identification  can  be  readily  given.  I 
am  quite  aware  that  certain  well-known  novels  which  give 
the  general  atmosphere  of  a  period — such,  for  example,  as 
Hawthorne's  "Scarlet  Letter"  and  Mr.  Hewlett's"  Forest 
Lovers  " — do  not  come  within  the  scope  of  my  definition  ; 
but  this  is  just  why  I  have  added  a  "  Supplementary  List  " 
of  semi-historical  tales.  And,  while  I  am  alluding  to  this 
"  Supplementary  List,"  I  should  like  to  give  my  reason  for 
omitting  from  it  one  remarkable  book  which  has  every 
claim  to  be  considered  representative  of  the  mid-nineteenth 
century.  Readers  of  "  John  Inglesant  "  may  be  reminded 

B— 2 


that  in  his  interesting  preface  Mr.  Shorthouse  alludes  to 
William  Smith's  philosophical  novel,  "  Thorndale."  As  a 
picture  of  Thought  developments  in  the  early  Victorian 
period,  the  latter  work  has  special  historical  interest  for  the 
philosophical  and  theological  student ;  in  this  respect  it 
may  be  likened  to  Pater's  "  Marius  the  Epicurean,"  which 
vividly  reproduces  the  Intellectual  ferment  of  an  earlier 
age.  "  Thorndale,"  however,  is  primarily  didactic,  and  the 
philosophical  dialogues  (interesting  as  these  are  to  the  meta- 
physician) hardly  atone  to  the  general  reader  for  an  almost 
entire  absence  of  plot.  The  above  is,  doubtless,  an,  alto- 
gether extreme  instance,  but  the  exclusion  of  several  other 
works  from  the  category  of  Romance  seems  to  follow  on 
something  like  the  same  grounds.  Becker's  "  Charicles  " 
and  "  Gallus  "  are  little  more  than  school  textbooks,  while, 
turning  to  a  less  scholarly  quarter,  Ainsworth's  "  Preston 
Fight,"  and  even  his  better-known  "  Guy  Fawkes,"  may  be 
cited  as  illustrating  what  Mr.  Shorthouse  means  when  he 
speaks  of  novels  "  in  which  a  small  amount  of  fiction  has 
been  introduced  simply  for  the  purpose  of  relating  History." 
In  all  such  cases  the  average  novel-reader  feels  that  he  has 
been  allured  on  false  pretences.  I  am  well  aware  that  not 
a  few  of  the  books  included  in  my  List  might  be  considered 
to  fall  under  the  same  ban,  but  I  think  it  will  be  found  that 
in  most  of  them  there  is  at  least  a  fair  attempt  to  arouse 
narrative  interest. 

Coming  to  the  List  itself,  it  will  be  noticed  that  I  have 
been  somewhat  sparing  in  the  books  given  under  the  "  Pre- 
Christian  "  heading.  Novels  dealing  with  these  very  far-off 
times  are  apt  to  be  unsatisfactory  ;  the  mist  in  which 
events  and  personages  are  enveloped,  takes  away  from  that 
appearance  of  reality  which  is  the  great  charm  of  the  histori- 


cal  novel.  We  are  hardly  concerned,  in  reading  "  Sarche- 
don"  and  similar  books,  to  get  away  from  the  purely 
imaginary  pictures  which  spring  from  the  Novelist's  own 
brain,  and  the  danger  is  that  the  very  elements  which  add 
to  our  interest  in  the  tale  as  such,  will  go  far  to  mislead  us 
in  our  conception  of  the  period  dealt  with.  There  is  none 
of  that  sense  of  familiarity  which  we  enjoy  when  reading  a 
sixteenth  or  seventeeth  century  romance :  in  the  latter 
case,  the  historical  background,  being  easily  perceptible, 
merges  for  us  with  the  creations  of  the  author's  own 
imagination.  Where  the  writer  of  an  "  ancient"  romance 
happens  to  be  a  scholar  like  Ebers,  we  feel  that — so  far  at 
least  as  historical  presentment  goes— we  cannot  be  far 
wrong,  but  the  combination  of  great  scholarship  and  narra- 
tive capacity  is,  alas,  too  rare  ! 

I  have  likewise  refrained  from  giving  many  tales  deal- 
ing with  Early-Christian  times.  We  are  here,  it  must  be 
admitted,  on  controversial  ground,  and  under  the  First 
Century  heading  I  have  endeavoured  to  insert  romances  of 
the  highest  quality  only.  For  instance,  I  think  that  Dr. 
Abbott's  "  Philochristus  "  and  Wallace's  "  Ben  Hur"  ought 
to  satisfy  two  different  types  of  readers.  And  this  is  the 
place,  doubtless,  to  say  that  in  my  lists  will  be  found  books 
of  widely  differing  merit  and  aim.  School  teachers,  and 
others  in  like  capacity,  will  easily  discriminate  between 
authors  suitable  for  juvenile  or  untrained  tastes,  and 
authors  whose  appeal  is  specially  to  those  of  maturer 
thought  and  experience.  Differing  as  much  in  method  and 
style  as  in  choice  of  period  and  character  type,  Thackeray's 
"Vanity  Fair"  and  George  Eliot's  "Romola"  have  at 
least  this  in  common — they  require  a  very  high  degree  of 
intelligence  for  their  due  appreciation.  Who,  among  those 


of  us  with  any  knowledge  of  such  works,  would  dream  of 
recommending  them  to  a  youthful  reader  fresh  from  the 
perusal  of  Miss  Yonge's  "  Little  Duke,"  or  Captain 
Marryatt's  "  Children  of  the  New  Forest "  ? 

Naturally  in  a  list  of  this  kind  there  is  bound  to  be  very 
great  inequality  ;  certain  periods  have  been  wholly  ignored 
by  writers  of  the  first  rank,  while  in  others  we  have 
something  like  an  embarras  de  richesse.  Consequently,  I  have 
been  compelled,  here  and  there,  to  insert  authors  of  only 
mediocre  merit.  In  other  cases,  again,  I  have  not  hesitated 
to  omit  works  by  writers  of  acknowledged  position  when 
these  have  seemed  below  the  author's  usual  standard,  and 
where  no  gap  had  to  be  filled.  I  would  instance  the 
James  II. — William  III.  period.  Here  Stanley  Weyman 
and  "Edna  Lyall"  might  have  been  represented,  but, 
there  being  no  dearth  of  good  novels  dealing  with  both  the 
above  reigns,  I  did  not  deem  it  advisable  to  call  in  these 
popular  writers  at  the  point  which  has  been  very  generally 
considered  their  lowest.  I  mention  this  to  show  that  omis- 
sions do  not  necessarily  mean  ignorance,  though,  in  cover- 
ing such  an  immense  ground,  I  cannot  doubt  that  romances 
worthy  of  a  place  in  my  list  have  been  overlooked. 

I  think  many  will  be  surprised  to  find  how  large  a  pro- 
portion of  our  best  writers  (English  and  American)  have 
entered  the  domain  of  Historical  or  Semi  -  Historical 
Romance.  Scott,  Thackeray,  Dickens,  George  Eliot, 
Charlotte  Bronte',  George  Meredith,  R.  L.  Stevenson, 
Hawthorne,  Peacock,  Charles  Kingsley,  Henry  Kingsley, 
Charles  Reade,  Anthony  Trollope,  Mrs.  Gaskell,  Walter 
Besant,  Lytton,  Disraeli,  J.  H.  Newman,  J.  A.  Froude,  and 
Walter  Pater — these  are  a  few  of  the  names  which  appear 
in  the  following  pages ;  while  Tolstoy,  Dumas,  Balzac, 


George  Sand,  Victor  Hugo,  De  Vigny,  Prosper  Merimee, 
Flaubert,  The"ophile  Gautier,  Freytag,  Scheffel,  Hauff, 
Auerbach,  Manzoni,  Perez  Galdos,  Me"rejkowski,  Topelius, 
Sienkiewicz,  and  Jokai  are,  perhaps,  the  chief  amongst  those 
representing  Literatures  other  than  our  own. 

"  The  Last  Days  of  Pompeii,"  "  The  Gladiators," 
"  Hypatia,"  "Harold,"  "  Ivanhoe,"  "The  Talisman," 
"Maid  Marian,"  "The  Last  of  the  Barons,"  "  Quentin 
Durward,"  "  Romola,"  "The  Cloister  and  the  Hearth," 
"  In  the  Palace  of  the  King,"  "  Westward  Ho  !,"  "  Kenil- 
worth,"  "  The  Chaplet  of  Pearls,"  "  A  Gentleman  of 
France,"  "John  Inglesant,"  "The  Three  Musketeers," 
"Twenty  Years  After,"  "Woodstock,"  "  Peveril  of  the 
Peak,"  "Old  Mortality,"  "The  Betrothed  Lovers  "(_"/ 
Pyomessi  Sposi"),  "  Lorna  Doone,"  "The  Refugees,"  "In 
the  Golden  Days,"  "  The  Courtship  of  Morrice  Buckler," 
"  Dorothy  Forster,"  "  The  Men  of  the  Moss  Hags," 
"  Esmond,"  "  The  Virginians,"  "  Heart  of  Midlothian," 
"  Waverley,"  "  The  Master  of  Ballantrae,"  "  Kidnapped," 
"  Catriona,"  "  The  Chaplain  of  the  Fleet,"  "  The  Seats  of 
the  Mighty,"  "  Barnaby  Rudge,"  "  A  Tale  of  Two  Cities," 
"  War  and  Peace  " — what  visions  do  these  mere  titles  arouse 
within  many  of  us  !  And,  though  most  of  the  books  given 
in  my  list  cannot  be  described  in  the  same  glowing  terms  as 
the  masterpieces*  just  named,  yet  many  "  nests  of  pleasant 
thoughts"  may  be  formed  through  their  companionship. 

Hitherto  allusion  has  been  mainly  in  the  direction  of 
modern  authors,  and  I  would  now  say  a  word  or  two  in 
regard  to  those  of  an  earlier  period  who  are  also  represented. 

*  "  Masterpieces,"  that  is,  in  their  sei'tr^l  dtgrers ;  perhaps  I  was  some- 
what rash  to  invite  the  criticism  that  "Quentin  IJurwaid,''  "  Esmond,"  .Me. , 
iind  themselves  in  very  unequal  company  !

Defoe,  Fielding,  Richardson,  Goldsmith,  Smollett,  Frances 
Burney,  Samuel  Lover,  John  Gait,  Maria  Edgeworth, 
Susan  Ferrier,  William  Godwin,  Mary  Shelley,  Fenimore 
Cooper,  J.  G.  Lockhart,  Leigh  Hunt,  Thomas  Moore, 
Harriet  Martineau,  J.  L.  Motley,  Horace  Smith,  Charles 
Lever,  Meadows  Taylor,  and  William  Carleton — these  (in 
greater  or  less  degree)  notable  names  were  bound  to  have  a 
place  ;  and,  coming  to  less  distinguished  writers,  I  may 
mention  the  brothers  Banim,  Gerald  Griffin,  Mrs.  S.  C. 
Hall,  Lady  Morgan,  the  sisters  Porter,  W.  G.  Simms, 
George  Croly,  Albert  Smith,  G.  R.  Gleig,*  W.  H.  Maxwell, 
Sir  Arthur  Helps,  Eliot  Warburton,  Lewis  Wingfield, 
Thomas  Miller,  C.  Macfarlane,  Grace  Aguilar,  Anne  Man- 
ning, and  Emma  Robinson  (author  of  "  Whitefriars").  To 
G.  P.  R.  James,  Harrison  Ainsworth,  and  James  Grant  I 
have  previously  alluded.  It  has  been  my  endeavour  to 
choose  the  best  examples  of  all  the  above-named  novelists 
— a  task  rendered  specially  difficult  in  some  cases  by  the 
fact  of  immense  literary  output.  Doubtless  not  a  few  of 
the  works  so  chosen  are  open  to  criticism,  but  they  will  at 
least  serve  to  illustrate  certain  stages  in  the  growth  of 
Historical  Romance.  With  the  exclusion  of  Mrs.  Radcliffe, 
Mrs.  Marsh, f  Mrs.  Gore,  Lady  Blessington,  Lady  Fullerton, 
Mrs.  Bray,  and  Mrs.  Child,  few  will,  I  imagine,  find  fault ; 
but  writers  like  Miss  Tucker  (A.L.O.E.)  and  Miss  Emily 
Holt  still  find  so  many  readers  in  juvenile  quarters,  that 
it  has  required  a  certain  amount  of  courage  to  place  them 
also  on  my  Index  Expurgatorius  !  Turning  once  again  to 
writers  of  the  sterner  sex,  I  have  ruled  out  C.  R.  Maturin, 

*  This  author  is  not  represented  in  the  present  (jrd)  edition. 

f  Mrs.  Marsh's  "  Father  Darcy  "  is  now  given  a  place  in  my  List. 


G.  W.  M.  Reynolds,  and  Pierce  Egan,  Junr. ;  and  (quitting 
the  "sensational"  for  the  "mildly  entertaining  ")  out  of 
the  Rev.  J.  M.  Neale's  many  historical  tales  I  have  selected 
only  one — "  Theodora  Phranza,"  which,  besides  being  well 
written,  has  the  merit  of  dealing  with  a  somewhat  neglected 
period.  Stories  possessing  a  background  of  History  are  to 
be  found  in  "  Tales  from  Blackwood,"  as  also  in  "  Wilson's 
Tales  of  the  Borders,"  but  their  extremely  slight  character 
seemed  scarcely  to  justify  insertion ;  while  not  even  the 
high  literary  position  attained  by  him  on  other  grounds 
reconciled  me  to  either  of  Allan  Cunningham's  novels — 
"  Sir  Michael  Scott  "  and  "  Paul  Jones." 

Of  the  Foreign  novelists  appearing  in  my  list,  several 
have  been  already  named,  but  Marchese  D'Azeglio,  F.  D. 
Guerrazzi,  Cesare  Cantu,  "  W.  Alexis"  (G.  Haring),  H. 
Laube,  Louise  Miihlbach  (Klara  M.  Mundt),  Nicolas 
Josika,  Viktor  Rydberg,  Hendrik  Conscience,  Xavier  B. 
Saintine,  Amedee  Achard,  and  "  Erckmann-Chatrian  "  here 
call  for  notice  as  not  coming  under  strictly  contemporary 
classification.  I  would  forestall  the  criticism  that  two 
writers  have  been  passed  over  whose  fame  is  greater  than 
any  of  those  just  mentioned,  viz.,  "  Stendhal  "  (Henri 
Beyle)  and  Alphonse  Daudet.  Beyle's  "  La  Chartreuse  de 
Parme,"  though  containing  the  oft-praised  account  of 
Waterloo,  is  far  more  Psychological  than  Historical ;  and 
Daudet's  "  Robert  Helmont,"  while  it  depicts  (under  Diary 
form)  certain  aspects  of  the  Franco-German  War,  has 
hardly  any  plot  running  through  it.  As  the  Waterloo  and 
Franco-German  War  periods  were  amply  illustrated  in 
numerous  other  novels  of  more  assured  suitability,  I  had 
the  less  hesitation  in  deciding  against  the  two  works  just 
named.  In  the  selection  from  Foreign  Historical  Fiction 


10 

nothing  more  has  been  attempted  than  to  include  the  lead- 
ing examples ;  most  of  these,  it  will  be  found,  have  been 
translated  into  English. 

Before  leaving  the  subject  of  older  writers,  it  may  be 
mentioned  that  not  a  few  of  the  works  chosen  to  represent 
them  are,  at  the  moment,  out  of  print.  To  anyone  objecting 
that  something  ought  to  have  been  done  to  indicate  this  in 
each  separate  case,  I  would  urge  that  the  "  out  of  print  " 
line  can  never  be  drawn  with  precision  in  view  of  constant 
reprints  as  well  as  of  further  extinctions. 

Perhaps  this  introduction  maybe  most  fitly  concluded  by 
something  in  the  nature  of  apology  for  Historical  Romance 
itself.  Not  only  has  fault  been  found  with  the  deficiencies 
of  unskilled  authors  in  that  department,  but  the  question 
has  been  asked  by  one  or  two  critics  of  standing — What 
right  has  the  Historical  Novel  to  exist  at  all  ?  More  often 
than  not,  it  is  pointed  out,  the  Romancist  gives  us  a  mass 
of  inaccuracies,  which,  while  they  mislead  the  ignorant  (i.e., 
the  majority),  are  an  unpardonable  offence  to  the  histori- 
cally-minded reader.  Moreover,  the  writer  of  such  Fiction, 
though  he  be  a  Thackeray  or  a  Scott,  cannot  surmount 
barriers  which  are  not  merely  hard  to  scale,  but  absolutely 
impassable.  The  spirit  of  a  period  is  like  the  selfhood  of  a 
human  being — something  that  cannot  be  handed  on  ;  try  as 
we  may,  it  is  impossible  for  us  to  breathe  the  atmosphere 
of  a  bygone  time,  since  all  those  thousand-and-one  details 
which  went  to  the  building  up  of  both  individual  and 
general  experience,  can  never  be  reproduced.  We  con- 
sider (say)  the  Eighteenth  Century  from  the  purely  Histori- 
cal standpoint,  and,  while  we  do  so,  are  under  no  delusion 
as  to  our  limitations  ;  we  know  that  a  few  of  the  leading 
personages  and  events  have  been  brought  before  us  in  a 


II 

more  or  less  disjointed  fashion,  and  are  perfectly  aware 
that  there  is  room  for  much  discrepancy  between  the 
pictures  so  presented  to  us  (be  it  with  immense  skill)  and 
the  actual  facts  as  they  took  place  in  such  and  such  a  year. 
But,  goes  on  the  objector,  in  the  case  of  a  Historical 
Romance  we  allow  ourselves  to  be  hoodwinked,  for,  under 
the  influence  of  a  pseudo-historic  security,  we  seem  to 
watch  the  real  sequence  of  events  in  so  far  as  these  affect 
the  characters  in  whom  we  are  interested.  How  we  seem 
to  live  in  those  early  years  of  the  Eighteenth  Century,  as 
we  follow  Henry  Esmond  from  point  to  point,  and  yet,  in 
truth,  we  are  breathing  not  the  atmosphere  of  Addison  and 
Steele,  but  the  atmosphere  created  by  the  brilliant  Nine- 
teenth Century  Novelist,  partly  out  of  his  erudite  concep- 
tion of  a  former  period,  and  partly  out  of  the  emotions  and 
thoughts  engendered  by  that  very  environment  which  was  his 
own,  and  from  which  he  could  not  escape  ! 

Well,  to  all  such  criticisms  it  seems  to  me  there  are 
ample  rejoinders.  In  the  first  place,  it  must  be  remembered 
that  History  itself  possesses  interest  for  us  more  as  the 
unfolding  of  certain  moral  and  mental  developments  than 
as  the  mere  enumeration  of  facts.  Of  course,  I  am  aware 
that  the  ideal  of  the  Historian  is  Truth  utterly  regardless  of 
prejudice  and  inclination,  but,  as  with  all  other  human 
ideals,  this  one  is  never  fully  realised,  and  there  is  ever  that 
discrepancy  between  Fact  and  its  Narration  to  which  I  just 
now  alluded.  This  being  so,  I  would  ask — Is  not  the 
writer  of  Fiction  justified  in  emphasizing  those  elements  of 
History  which  have  a  bearing  on  life  and  character  in 
general  ?  There  is,  doubtless,  a  wise  and  an  unwise  method 
of  procedure.  One  novelist,  in  the  very  effort  to  be 
accurate,  produces  a  work  which — being  neither  History 


12 

nor  Fiction — is  simply  dull ;  while  another,  who  has  gauged 
the  true  relation  between  fact  and  imagination,  knows 
better  than  to  bring  into  prominence  that  which  should 
remain  only  as  a  background.  After  all,  there  are  certain 
root  motives  and  principles  which,  though  they  vary  in- 
definitely in  their  application,  underlie  Human  Conduct, 
and  are  common  to  all  ages  alike.  Given  a  fairly  accurate 
knowledge  as  regards  the  general  history  of  any  period, 
combined  with  some  investigation  into  its  special  manners 
and  customs,  there  is  no  reason  why  a  truly  imaginative 
novelist  should  not  produce  a  work  at  once  satisfying  to 
romantic  and  historical  instincts. 

Again,  if  it  be  true  that  the  novelist  cannot  reproduce 
the  far  past  in  any  strict  sense,  it  is  also  true  that  neither 
can  he  so  reproduce  the  life  and  events  of  yesterday.  That 
power  of  imaginative  memory,  which  all  exercise  in  daily 
experience,  may  be  held  in  very  different  degrees,  but  its 
enjoyment  is  not  dependent  on  accuracy  of  representation — 
for,  were  this  so,  none  of  us  would  possess  it.  In  an 
analogous  manner  the  writer  of  Romance  may  be  more  or 
less  adequately  equipped  on  the  side  of  History  pure  and 
simple,  but  he  need  not  wait  for  that  which  will  never  come 
— the  power  of  reproducing  in  toto  a  past  age.  If,  in  reading 
what  purports  to  be  no  more  than  a  Novel,  the  struggle 
between  Christianity  and  Paganism  (for  example),  or  the 
unbounded  egotism  of  Napoleon,  be  brought  more  vividly 
before  our  minds— and  this  may  be  done  by  suggestion  as 
well  as  by  exact  relation — then,  I  would  maintain,  we  are  to 
some  extent  educated  historically,  using  the  word  in  a  large 
though  perfectly  legitimate  sense. 

I  recently  read  a  work  which  here  presents  itself  as 
admirably  illustrating  my  meaning.  In  her  too  little  known 


13 

"  Adventures  of  a  Goldsmith,"  Miss  M.  H.  Bourchier  has 
contrived  to  bring  forcibly  before  us  the  period  when 
Napoleon,  fast  approaching  the  zenith  of  his  power,  was 
known  in  France  as  the  "  First  Consul."  The  "  man  of 
destiny"  himself — appearing  on  the  scene  for  little  more 
than  a  brief  moment — can  in  no  sense  be  described  as  one 
of  the  book's  characters,  and  yet  the  whole  plot  is  so  skil- 
fully contrived  as  to  hinge  on  his  personality.  We  are 
made  to  feel  the  dominating  influence  of  that  powerful  will 
upon  the  fears  and  hopes  of  a  time  brimming  over  with 
revolutionary  movement.  Whether  the  Chouan  revolt  is 
in  this  particular  story  accurately  depicted  for  us  in  all  its 
phases,  or  whether  the  motives  which  impelled  certain 
public  characters  are  therein  interpreted  aright — both  in 
regard  to  these  and  other  points  there  may  be  room  for 
doubt ;  but  at  least  the  general  forces  of  the  period  are  placed 
before  us  in  such  a  way  as  to  drive  home  the  conviction 
that,  be  the  historical  inaccuracies  of  detail  what  they  may 
in  the  eyes  of  this  or  that  specialist,  the  picture  as  a  wliolcis 
one  which,  while  it  rivets  our  attention  as  lovers  of  romance, 
does  no  injury  to  the  strictest  Historic  sense. 

I  know  well  that  numerous  novels  might  be  cited  which, 
besides  abounding  in  anachronisms,  are  harmful  in  that 
they  present  us  with  a  misleading  conception  of  some 
personality  or  period ;  moreover,  I  acknowledge  that  this 
defect  is  by  no  means  confined  to  romances  of  an  inferior 
literary  order.  That  Cromwell  has  been  unreasonably 
vilified,  and  Mary  Queen  of  Scots  misconceived  as  a  saintly 
martyr — how  often  are  these  charges  brought  against  not  a 
few  of  our  leading  exponents  of  Historical  Fiction.  Let 
this  be  fully  granted,  it  remains  to  ask — To  whom  were  our 
novelists  originally  indebted  for  these  misconceptions  ? 


14 

Were  not  the  historians  of  an  earlier  generation  responsible 
for  these  wrong  judgments  ?  True,  the  real  Science  of 
History — the  sifting  of  evidence,  and  the  discovery  and  un- 
ravelling of  ancient  documents — may  be  described  as  an 
essentially  modern  attainment,  so  it  would  be  unreasonable 
to  blame  our  older  historians  for  errors  which  it  was  largely, 
if  not  wholly,  beyond  their  power  to  overcome.  And  it  is 
just  here  that  I  would  emphasize  my  defence  of  the 
Romancist.  If  Historians  themselves  have  differed  (and 
still  differ !)  may  it  not  be  pleaded  on  behalf  of  the  Histori- 
cal Novelist  that  he  also  must  be  judged  according  to  the 
possibilities  of  his  time  ?  For,  while  he  may  have  too 
readily  adopted  false  conceptions  in  the  past,  there  is  no 
necessity  why,  in  the  future,  he  also — profiting  by  the 
growth  of  Critical  Investigation — should  not  have  due 
regard,  in  the  working  out  of  his  Historical  background,  for 
all  the  latest  "  results."  And,  I  would  further  add,  even 
though  it  be  true  that  Scott  and  others  have  misled  us  in 
certain  directions,  this  does  not  prevent  our  acknowledg- 
ment that,  given  their  aspect  of  a  particular  period,  it  was  only 
fitting  that  the  scheme  of  their  novels  should  be  in  harmony 
with  it.  If  "  bloody  Mary  "  was  a  cruel  hypocrite,  then 
our  reading  of  her  period  will  be  influenced  by  that  real  (or 
supposed)  fact ;  but,  if  further  investigation  reverses  this 
severe  judgment  on  the  woman  herself,  then,  in  Heaven's 
name,  let  us  mould  our  general  conception  afresh.  The 
fountains  of  Romance  show  no  sign  of  running  dry,  and, 
though  we  may  look  in  vain  at  the  moment  for  a  genius  of 
the  very  highest  type,  the  Future  has  possibilities  within  it 
which  the  greatest  literary  pessimist  among  us  cannot 
wholly  deny.  If,  then,  fault  can  be  found  with  the  older 
Romancists  for  the  spreading  here  and  there  of  false  histori- 


15 

cal  notions,  let  us  look  to  future  workers  in  the  same  sphere 
for  adjustment.  I  believe,  however,  that  one  notable  critic 
has  pronounced  the  mischief  already  done  to  be  quite 
irreparable,  seeing  that  the  only  "  History  "  at  all  widely 
spread  is  that  derived  from  those  very  romances  in  which 
errors  are  so  interwoven  with  the  sentimental  interest  of 
the  plot  itself  that  readers  inevitably  "  hug  their  delusions !  " 
But  I  think  that  this  danger  need  not  be  contemplated 
seriously.  The  Historical  Novel  exists  primarily  as  Fiction, 
and,  even  though  in  our  waking  moments  we  may  be  per- 
suaded of  the  unreality  of  that  "  dream  "  which  a  Scott  or 
a  Dumas  has  produced  for  us,  we  shall  still  be  able  to  place 
ourselves  again  and  again  under  the  spell  of  their  delightful 
influence.  Moreover,  while  admitting  Dumas'  carelessness 
of  exact  detail,  it  would  hardly  be  contended  by  the  most 
sceptical  that  his  works  (still  less  those  of  Scott)  are  with- 
out any  background  of  Historic  suggestiveness.  Scott, 
indeed,  shows  signs  of  having  possessed  something  of  that 
"  detachment  "  which  is  one  important  qualification  in  the 
Historian  proper  ;  there  is  a  fairness  and  prevision  in  his 
historical  judgments  which  we  look  for  in  vain  when  read- 
ing the  works  of  his  contemporaries.* 

And,  having  thus  touched  on  what  I  believe  to  be  the 
true  relation  between  Romance  and  History,  I  may  note, 
as  a  last  word,  the  use  of  the  Historical  Tale  to  those  who 
have  the  training  of  young  folk.  That  "  desire  to  know," 

*  That  there  was  no  fundamental  antagonism  between  the  Romantic 
and  the  Scientific  Movements  of  last  Century  has  been  shown  by  that  very 
brilli.xnt  American  thinker,  1'rofessor  Josiah  Royce,  of  Haivard  University. 
"The  very  spirit,"  he  writes,  ''that  in  Great  Britain  expressed  itself  in 
Scott's  romances,  once  wedded  to  the  minuteness  of  German  scholarship, 
was  destined  to  transform  the  whole  study  of  history."  (  The  Spirit  of 
Modern  Philosophy^  page  279.)

which  is  an  essential  for  all  true  learning,  is  sometimes 
best  fostered  by  methods  outside  the  ordinary  School 
routine.  Thus,  as  regards  History,  where  the  text-book 
fails  in  arousing  interest,  the  tale  may  succeed,  and,  once 
the  spirit  of  inquiry  has  been  stimulated,  half  the  battle  is 
gained.  In  saying  this,  I  am  far  from  wishing  to  imply 
that  the  reading  of  romances  can  ever  take  the  place  of 
genuine  historical  study.  I  know  well  that  such  a  book  as 
Green's  "  Short  History  of  the  English  People  "  may  prove 
to  some  more  fascinating  than  any  novel.  There  are,  how- 
ever, cases  in  which  recourse  may  be  had  to  a  high-class 
work  of  fiction  for  the  attainment  of  a  truer  historic  sense  ; 
while,  taken  only  as  supplement  to  more  strictly  Academic 
reading,  such  a  work  may  prove  to  have  its  uses.  Con- 
siderable discrimination  is  required — as  I  have  already 
hinted — in  the  choice  of  suitable  books,  and,  as  a  help  in 
this  direction,  I  have  made  out  (vide  "  Suggested  Courses  of 
Reading  "  at  the  end  of  this  volume)  two  special  lists  for 
Boys  and  Girls  respectively,  which  will,  I  trust,  be  found 
useful.*  If,  besides  being  of  help  to  teachers,  my  recom- 
mendations should  lead  in  any  degree  to  further  apprecia- 
tion of  the  great  masters  of  Romance,  the  labour  (by  no 
means  inconsiderable)  expended  on  this  little  compilation 
will  be  amply  rewarded. 

*  These  two  juvenile  lists  have  now  (3rd  edition)  been  amalgamated.

GENERAL    LIST. 


"  Epitomes  are  not  narratives,  as  skeletons  are  not  human 
figures.  Thus  records  of  prime  truths  remain  a  dead  letter  to 
plain  folk  ;  the  writers  have  left  so  much  to  the  imagination,  and 
imagination  is  so  rare  a  gift.  Here,  then,  the  writer  of  fiction  may 
be  of  use  to  the  public — as  an  interpreter." 

Charles  Reade,  in  "  The  Cloister  and  the  Hearth." 

"The  picturesqueness  of  history  is  largely  due  to  memoirs; 
and  the  countries  and  epochs  which  have  produced  them  are 
especially  picturesque.  Now  it  is  great  crises,  periods  of  disrup- 
tion, great  emergencies,  which  as  a  rule  impress  contemporaries 
and  furnish  matter  for  close  observation.  .  .  .  The  Great 
Rebellion  and  the  French  Revolution  have  furnished  endless 
motives  to  dramatists,  novelists,  and  painters,  because  they  suggest 
possibilities  of  striking  contras'S,  and  afford  available  situations. 
The  human  interest  is  then  most  intense,  and  our  sympathies  are 
most  easily  awakened." — Dr.  JMandell  Creighton,  on  "  The  Pic- 
turesque in  History"  in  Historical  Lectures  and  Addresses. 


NOTE. — The  order  in  which  the  books  are  placed  is,  on  the  whole,  according  to  the 
periods  dealt  with  ;  occasionally  the  grouping  decided  on  has  prevented  absolute 
correctness  in  this  respect.  Books  of  special  worth  are  marked  with  an  asterisk.

a  Perhaps  the  most  serious  omission  in  my  original  list.  I  have  to  thank  the  American  reviewer  who 
brought  this  charming  tale  to  my  notice  ;  having  just  read  it  with  immense  enjoyment,  I  can  bear  »pccial 
testimony  in  its  favour. 

i>  A  very  slight  but  charming  story  of  Alfred's  boyhood,  specially  suited  for  the  very  young.

NOTK. — I  have  seen  it  urged  that  occurrences  of  a  year  or  two  ago  should  be  reckoned 
as  "  History."  Surely  we  see  events  more  truly,  in  one  sense,  after  the  lapse  of  years, 
even  though  exact  details  tend  to  fade  away  ?  Many  of  us,  while  we  regard  the  Franco- 
German  \\  ar  as  History  proper,  feel  that  the  men  nnd  deeds  of  the  Eighties  and  Nineties 
are,  as  it  were,  a  part  of  our  own  environment  ;  the  stage  of  impartial  judgment  (or,  at 
least,  approximation  to  such)  has  not  been  reached.  Accordingly  I  am  content  to  end, 
as  before,  with  the  early  Seventies.

FIFTY  REPRESENTATIVE   HISTORICAL 
NOVELS. 

"  I  love  historical  novels  composed  by  a  master  hand." — 

Lord  Gosch.-n. 

"  What  we  object  to  is  the  notion  that  historic  fidelity  is  the 
important  ingredient  of  an  historical  novel.  Enough  there  must 
be  ;  but  there  must  be  much  more  than  a  dramatisation  of  history, 
more  than  the  recapture  of  the  past ;  these  are  but  objective 
triumphs.  There  must  be  in  the  historical  novel  what  we  demand 
in  all  novels — truth  to  the  permanent  qualities  of  human  nature, 
and  an  appeal  to  the  reader  as  a  living  man,  who  reads  what  con- 
cerns him.  There  must  be  the  charm  of  charm." — 

The  Academy  (February  i6th,  1901). 


*  FIFTY    REPRESENTATIVE    HISTORICAL 
NOVELS. 

".  .  .  Those  who  are  in  the  habit  of  reading  the  literary 
weeklies  may  have  noticed  how,  in  certain  critical  quarters, 
a  growing  hatred  (I  can  give  no  milder  term)  of  historical 
romance  has  been  evinced.  Doubtless,  after  the  large  num- 
ber of  mere  '  Cloak  and  Steel '  novels  which  the  last  decade 
has  seen  on  both  sides  of  the  Atlantic,  one  can  hardly 
wonder  at  this  condemnation  of  the  '  Historical  Novel,1 
when  such  effusions  are  taken  to  represent  it.  But,  it  must 
be  asked,  what  right  has  the  critic  to  condemn  an  entire 
class  of  fiction  on  the  basis  of  its  worst  modern  examples  ? 
And  even  if  this  be  not  done,  it  is  hardly  fair  to  prejudge 
the  question  of  romance-writing  possibilities  by  setting 
forth  (as  some  critics  do)  all  the  theoretical  objections  which 
can  be  urged  against  the  blending  of  history  with  the  narra- 
tions of  fancy.  As  to  the  arguments  pro  and  con,  I  have 
attempted  to  deal  with  these  elsewhere,  and  I  will  do  no 
more  here  than  name  a  few  leading  critics  who  have 
expressed  themselves,  more  or  less  openly,  for  or  against 
historical  romance. 

*  Through  the  kindness  of  the  Editor  of  the  Literary  H'crM,  I  am 
enabled  to  give  an  extract  from  a  letter  which  I  recently  (February,  IOA\>) 
sent  to  that  paper.  As  the  li.st  appearing  therein  seems  to  have  met  with 
some  approval,  I  venture  to  insert  it  here.  Moreover,  it  may  serve  to 
show  the  absurdity  of  random  statements  about  Historical  Romance.  I 
recently  came  across  the  following  sentence  in  a  well-known  Ametican 
magazine  : — "Anybody  ciin  tcritf  c.n  historical  novel" ;  if  this  very  confident 
ctitic  were  to  glance  down  the  names  here  given,  he  might  be  disposed  to 
modify  his  easy  assurance,  and  to  admit  that  the  term  "historical  novel" 
stands  for  supreme  achievement  as  well  as  for  pitiable  failure  !

Turning,  first,  to  the  '  Ayes,'  Professor  Saintsbury  and 
Mr.  Andrew  Lang  are  indubitably  favourable,  while  Dr. 
Richard  Garnett  and  Mr.  Swinburne  may,  I  think,  be 
claimed  as  decided,  if  less  demonstrative,  adherents.*  The 
'  Noes  '  are  represented  pre-eminently  by  Sir  Leslie  Stephen 
and  Mr.  Edmund  Gosse  ;  in  lesser  degree,  by  Professor 
Brander  Matthews  and  a  '  certain  writer '  in  The  Academy. 
Two  other  champions  may  be  summoned  to  this  literary 
tournament,  viz.,  Mr.  W.  D.  Howells  (against)  and  Mr. 
A.  T.  Quiller-Couch  (for).  Mr.  Howells,  whose  recent 
work  on  fiction  '  Heroines '  would  seem  to  show  that  his 
literary  judgments  are  not  infallible,  has  just  been  com- 
menting adversely  on  historical  novels  (except  in  the  case 
of  '  a  very,  very  few  '),  and  against  his  pronouncements  I 
think  we  may  safely  set  those  of  our  own  able  novelist  and 
critic,  '  Q.'f 

The  above  remarks  have  been  made  with  a  view  to  leading 
up  to  the  main  object  of  my  letter.  While  the  opinions  of 
learned  critics  (such  as  those  just  mentioned)  are  of  very 
great  value,  may  not  the  novelists  themselves  be  brought 
forward  to  speak  on  their  own  behalf  ?  As  likely  to  help 
the  intelligent  adult  reader  to  form  his  own  judgment  on 
this  question  of  historical  romance,  I  have  made  out  (after 
much  careful  thought  and  study)  the  following  List  of  Fifty 
Representative  Historical  Novels.  I  use  the  word  '  represen- 
tative '  rather  than  '  best,'  because  I  am  aware  that  in  any 

*  Since  these  words  were  written,  a  distinguished  critic,  Mr.  Frederic 
Harrison,  has  come  forward  in  the  new  role  of  Historical  Novelist. 

•fr  Vide  Daily  News,  of  June  2nd  and  June  9th,  1902,  for  interesting 
remarks  "On  Historical  Novels,"  by  Mr.  Quiller-Couch  ;  see  also  the 
incidental  plea  of  another  able  exponent  of  Fiction,  Mr.  H.  B.  Marriott- 
Watson,  in  his  article — "The  Old  Controversy'1  (i.e.,  between  Realism  and 
Romance) — in  Tht  Monthly  Review,  for  October,  1903. 


133 

such  list  the  line  cannot  be  drawn  with  exactitude  between 
the  last  ten  (say)  of  the  novels  chosen  and  the  first  ten  of 
those  excluded.  To  show  that  my  line  of  exclusion  had 
to  be  somewhat  arbitrary,  I  have  only  to  mention  such 
examples  as  Perez  Galdos's  '  Episodios  Nacionales,'  Vik- 
tor Rydberg's  '  Last  Athenian,'  Felix  Dahn's  '  Struggle  for 
Rome,'  Weyman's  '  A  Gentleman  of  France,'  Conan  Doyle's 
1  The  Refugees,'  Mason's  '  Courtship  of  Morrice  Buckler," 
Edith  Wharton's  recently  published  '  Valley  of  Decision,' 
&c.,  &c.  At  the  same  time,  I  would  suggest  that,  as  con- 
taining historical  novels  of  almost  every  type,  the  list  given 
will  be  found  a  really  satisfactory  one ;  and,  were  it  desired 
to  test  any  thoughtful  man's  partiality  for  this  kind  of 
fiction,  I  venture  to  think  that  one  could  not  do  much 
better  than  give  him  this  list  from  which  to  choose.  If, 
after  fairly  trying  the  quality  of  these  fifty  novels,  or,  at 
least,  some  portion  of  them,  a  reader  remain  unmoved,  one 
may  safely  infer  that  historical  romance  is  not  for  him  ;  to 
hurl  the  dicta  of  eminent  critics  at  such  a  one  would  be 
mere  waste  of  time.  De  gtistibus  non  disputandum.  The  man 
to  whom  '  The  Three  Musketeers '  is  foolishness  may 
revel  in  '  Marius  the  Epicurean  '  or  '  War  and  Peace,'  but 
he  who  cannot  find  pleasure  in  any  of  the  books  named 
(representing,  as  they  do,  such  a  variety  of  widely-differing 
types)  is  '  past  praying  for  '  !  The  temptation  was  great  to 
insert  George  Meredith's  '  Vittoria,'  if  only  to  have  that 
powerful  writer  represented,  but  the  work  in  question  has 
little  of  the  veritable  '  historical '  romance  about  it  ;  on  the 
other  hand,  Merejkowski's  much-discussed  '  Death  of  the 
Gods  ' — lacking  the  creativcncss  of  fiction — is  chiefly  re- 
markable for  its  series  of  brilliant  historical  sketches  (I  think 
the  same  remark  might  be  applied  to  Zola's  'La  Debacle'). 


134 

Another  omission  that  may  be  noted  is  Beyle's  '  La  Char- 
treuse de  Parme';  this  essentially  psychological  novel,  with 
its  slight  historical  allusiveness,  would,  I  venture  to  suggest, 
be  somewhat  out  of  place  in  the  list  which  follows.  In 
regard  to  early  Christian  illustration,  I  scarcely  anticipate 
serious  blame  for  preferring  '  Philochristus '  (Dr.  Abbott's 
scholarly  and  exquisitely  conceived  semi-romance)  to  '  Quo 
Vadis  ? '  and  other  '  popular '  tales."

I  would  add  one  word.  It  may  be  asked  in  regard  to  the  nl>ove  list — Why  Fifty  ? 
To  this  I  reply  that,  having  made  many  trial  lists,  I  found  that  my  final  evolution  resulted 
in  something  almost  identical  with  that  figure  ;  a  smaller  select  ion  would  certainly  exclude 
important  representative  novels,  a  larger  might  possibly  include  examples  unworthy  of 
such  supremely  high  company. 


SUGGESTED  COURSES   OF   READING. 
(JUVENILE). 

"  It  is  no  wisdom  to  make  boys  prodigies  of  information, 
but  it  is  our  wisdom  and  our  duty  to  cultivate  their  faculties  each 
in  its  season,  first  the  memory  and  imagination,  and  then  the 
judgment,  to  furnish  them  with  the  means,  and  to  excite  the  desire 
of  improving  themselves." — Dr.  Arnold,  quoted  in  Sir  Joshua 
FitcNs  "  Thomas  and Matthnu  Arnold" 


SUGGESTED    COURSES    OF    READING. 
(JUVENILE.) 

As  likely  to  assist  Parents  and  Teachers,  I  propose  to  give 
a  list  (covering  English  History  from  the  Norman  Conquest) 
for  Juvenile  Readers  ;  but  a  passing  allusion  may,  first  of 
all,  be  made  to  tales  dealing  with  more  ancient  periods. 
For  the  illustration  of  Greek  and  Roman  History,  those 
books  of  Professor  A.  J.  Church  which  are  entered  in  my 
Pre-Christian  section  may  be  safely  recommended  ;  while 
the  pictures  of  First  Century  life  given  in  Wallace's  "  Ben 
Hur,"  Lytton's  "Last  Days  of  Pompeii,"  and  Whyte 
Melville's  "The  Gladiators,"  are,  perhaps,  as  likely  to 
interest  an  intelligent  boy  or  girl  in  the  "  teen  "  stage  as 
any  similar  productions  that  could  be  mentioned.  Turning 
to  the  Early  History  of  our  own  isle,  I  would  specially 
mention  Mr.  Henty's  "  Beric  the  Briton  ";  the  "  /Escen- 
dune "  series  of  tales  ("  Edwy  the  Fair,"  '•  Alfgar  the 
Dane,"  and  "The  Rival  Heirs")  by  the  late  Rev.  A.  D. 
Crake;  Mr.  C.  W.  Whistler's  "  Havelok  the  Dane,"  "A 
Thane  of  Wessex,"  &c. ;  and  the  various  books  chosen  to 
represent  Alfred  and  his  times. 

In  preparing  the  following  list,  I  have  had  in  view,  for 
the  most  part,  the  average  Juvenile  taste;  doubtless  many 
of  the  more  advanced  works  might  be  offered  in  special 
cases,  but  in  regard  to  that,  the  Parent  or  Teacher  can 
alone  judge.  A  reference  to  the  General  List  will,  in  most 


144 

cases,  reveal  a  more  exact  specification ;  for  the  sake  of 
convenience,  the  tales  are  here  grouped  according  to  Reigns 
only. 

Of  the  romances  dealing  with  American  and  Foreign 
History  to  be  found  in  the  foregoing  pages,  many  are  suit- 
able for  young  readers  ;  but  the  sequence  not  being  very 
close  (for  any  lengthy  period  at  least),  separate  lists  would 
appear  superfluous.  Such  writers  (to  mention  only  a  few) 
as  Fenimore  Cooper,  Mrs.  J.  G.  Austin,  G.  C.  Eggleston, 
Kirk  Munroe,  and  Elbridge  S.  Brooks,  may  be  particularly 
recommended  for  American  History ;  while  Scott,  Dumas, 
Charlotte  M.  Yonge,  Miss  Roberts  (author  of  "  Made- 
moiselle Mori"),  and  G.  A.  Henty  have  all  illustrated— in 
more  or  less  adequate  fashion — the  course  of  events  in 
Foreign  Countries.  The  novels  of  Dumas  are  not  infre- 
quently considered  somewhat  "  strong  meat,"  but  his  "  She- 
Wolves  of  Machecoul  "  and  "  Black  Tulip  "  may  be  safely 
placed  in  any  hands. 


NOTE. — In  the  original  edition  of  this  work  two  separate  lists  were 
furnished  for  Hoys  and  Girls  respectively.  It  has  been  suggested,  in  more 
than  one  quarter,  that  an  amalgamated  list  would  be  better  in  many  ways  ; 
not  a  few  girls  have  a  taste  for  those  books  of  adventure  which  are  sup- 
posed to  appeal  primarily  to  their  brothers  and  boy  contemporaries,  and  it 
is  impossible  to  draw  the  line  exactly  in  that  class  of  fiction.  Accordingly, 
I  now  offer  a  single  list,  merely  indicating  by  a  letter  (H  for  Boys,  and  G 
for  Girls)  those  tales  in  which  tendencies  are  somewhat  pronounced.

In  connection  with  this  subject  of  Juvenile  Literature, 
I  would  draw  attention  to  Messrs.  Constable's  "  Library  of 
Historical  Novels  and  Romances  "  so  admirably  edited  by 
Mr.  G.  Laurence  Gomme.  Readers  (old  as  well  as  young) 
are  still  further  indebted  to  Mr.  Gomme  for  his  well-arranged 
series  of  extracts  taken  from  Romantic  Literature  in  the 
four  volumes  entitled,  "The  King's  Story  Book,"  "The 
Queen's  Story  Book,"  "The  Prince's  Story  Book,"  and 
the  Princess's  Story  Book."  (Constable  &  Co.;  and 
Longmans  &  Co.,  U.S.A.) 

A  little  work,  likely  to  prove  useful  for  purposes  of 
selection  and  identification,  is  Mr.  Henry  Grey's  "  A  Key 
to  the  Waverley  Novels  in  Chronological  Sequence  "  (Son- 
nenschein  &  Co.). 

In  the  School  World  for  August,  1903,  may  be  found  an 
article  ("  Some  Holiday  Reading  in  Fiction  ")  by  Mr.  C.  S. 
Fearenside,  mentioning  a  large  number  of  novels  and  tales 
which  cover  the  period  1763 — 1878  in  British  Colonial  His- 
tory. I  would  bring  under  notice  yet  another  article  by 
Mr.  Fearenside  on  "  True  Story-Books  of  English  History" 
in  the  School  World  for  August,  1902  ;  in  an  interesting 
manner  the  author  touches  on  some  representative  examples 
of  a  class  of  literature  which,  though  it  is  naturally  outside 
the  scope  of  the  present  volume,  may  be  alluded  to  at  this 
point  as  coming  between  Fiction  and  History  proper. 
And  this  leads  me  to  specify  another  important  historical 
medium —that  of  Poetry.  Miss  C.  L.  Thomson's  "  Carmina 
Britannia?  "  (Horace  Marshall  &  Son)  contains  an  excellent 
selection  of  "  poems  and  ballads  illustrative  of  English 
History";  useful  aid  in  the  same  direction  is  offered 
by  Mr.  J.  A.  Nicklin  in  his  "Poems  of  English  History" 
(A.  &  C.  Black) — besides  giving  ballads  and  shorter  pieces, 

M — 2 


164 

he  has  selected  illustrative  passages  from  Shakespeare  and 
the  Dramatists.  In  "  War  Songs  of  Britain  "  (Constable 
&  Co.)  Mr.  Harold  E.  Butler  has  given  us  a  collection  of 
Poems  and  Songs  relating  to  Battles,  &c.,  in  British  His- 
tory (Boadicea  to  Ladysmith).  In  "  Songs  of  England's 
Glory  "  (Isbister,  1903),  we  find  yet  another  anthology  of 
British  Poems  and  Ballads,  selected  to  illustrate  "  episodes 
of  our  National  History."  A  volume  of  special  interest  to 
American  readers  is  the  very  charming  "  New  England 
History  in  Ballads,"  by  Edward  Everett  Hale  and  his 
children,  "with  a  few  additions  by  other  people"  (Little, 
Brown,  &  Co.,  1903). 


BIBLIOGRAPHY 


BIBLIOGRAPHY 

ALTHOUGH  I  have  adopted  the  heading  "  Bibliography,"  it 
should  be  understood  that,  in  offering  the  subjoined  list,  I 
do  not  claim  for  it  absolute  comprehensiveness.  There 
are,  of  course,  almost  innumerable  Biographies,  Literary 
Studies,  Histories  of  Literature  and  Fiction,  &c.,  in  which 
indirect  references  to  our  subject  may  be  traced.  Moreover, 
in  preparing  this  little  volume,  it  has  been  found  necessary 
to  consult  largely  "  The  Dictionary  of  National  Biography," 
the  Encyclopaedias  (the  Britannica,  Chambers',  &c.),  "  Ap- 
pleton's  Cyclopaedia  of  American  Biography,"  and  other 
Standard  Works  of  the  Dictionary  type.  I  confine  myself 
below  to  noteworthy  writings  which  deal  directly  with  the 
subject  of  Historical  Romance.

[In  this  article  a  definition  of  the  "Historical  Novel"  at  variance 
with  my  own,  has  been  suggested.  In  spite  of  Mr.  Ford's  argument,  I  am 
still  of  opinion  that  the  line  of  demarcation  between  the  Historical  Novel 
proper  and  the  Novel  of  Character  or  Adventure  can  be  more  clearly 
drawn  than  he  allows.  I  was  careful,  when  dealing  with  this  question  in 
my  Introduction,  to  avoid  making  the  test  one  of  actual  historical  accuracy, 
but  there  are,  I  have  implied,  certain  readily-verifiable  personages  and 
events  which  form  a  basis  amply  sufficient  for  purposes  of  distinction.  The 
pirates  of  "Treasure  Island"  are  taken  (as  Mr.  Ford  says)  from  actual 
figures  of  the  Eighteenth  Century,  but  under  my  definition  Stevenson's 
novel  is  not  thereby  constituted  "historical  "  in  the  strict  sense. J

NOTE. 

English  Librarians  are  showing  a  laudable  desire  to  help  readers  in 
their  choice  of  fiction.  Among  Class-Guides  I  may  mention  one  recently 
issued  by  the  Borough  of  Finsbury  Public  Library ;  not  only  are  several 
Historical  Novels  admirably  described  in  a  "Chronological  List,"  but  the 
Librarian — Mr.  J.  Duff  Brown — promises  a  future  issue  classifying  "the 
leading  novels  under  the  historical  periods  or  persons  to  which  they  refer." 

Some  of  the  American  Public  Libraries  (notably  Boston)  have  issued 
useful  Lists  of  Historical  Novels ;  reference  to  these  may  be  found  under 
"Fiction"  in  William  I.  Fletcher's  "An  Index  to  General  Literature" 
(Houghton,  Mifflin,  &  Co.,  second  edition,  1901). 

It  is  interesting  to  see  what  Novelists  themselves  have  said  on  the 
subject  of  Historical  Romance,  and  in  this  connection  I  would  specially 
refer  to  the  "Dedicatory  Epistle"  in  Scott's  "  Ivanhoe,"  the  very  brief 
but  exceedingly  suggestive  opening  section  in  Chapter  I.  of  Reade's 
"  Cloister  and  the  Hearth,"  and  the  Preface  to  Scheffel's  "  Ekkehard."

Some  Notices  (English  and  American]  of  "A 
Guide  to  the  Best  Historical  Novels  and  Tales" 

"  Nothing  short  of  enthusiasm  .  .  .  can  have  sustained  Mr.  Jonathan  Nield  in 
compiling  his  Guide.  .  .  .  We  can  promise  that  any  one  who  takes  Mr.  Nield's 
short,  simple,  and  undeniable  proposition,  '  The  Historical  Novel  exists  primarily  as 
Fiction/  and  uses  that  as  an  operating  knife  upon  the  mass  of  criticism  to  which  Mr. 
Niejd's  Bibliography  refers  him,  will  be  surprised  at  once  by  the  amount  of  idle  denun- 
ciation on  this  subject  and  the  ease  with  which  it  comes  away.  But  a  subtler  and  more 
charming  fallacy  than  mere  ignoratio  tlenchi  underlies  the  argument  which  maintains 
that  the  historical  novel  .cannot  be  good  fiction.  Mr.  Nield  states  this  argument  so 
fairly,  that  we  may  use  his  words.  .  .  .  'To  all  such  criticisms,'  says  Mr.  Nield, 
'  it  seems  to  me  there  are  ample  rejoinders.'  And  we  are  constrained  to  agree  with  him." 
The  Times  Literary  Supplement  (Leading  Article). 

The  Historical  Novel.     .    .     .    This  subject,  which  has  been  considered  from 


by  which  one  may  see  at  a  glance  the  periods  of  history  that  novelists  have  chosen  or 
neglected."  The  Nation,  U.S.A.  (Leading  Article). 

"  Mr.  Jonathan  Nield  is  the  compiler  of  A  Guide  to  the  Best  Historical  Novels  and 
Tales,  which  should  serve  a  useful  purpose  in  every  public  library,  and  which  many 
readers  will  be  glad  to  have  on  their  own  shelves  or  tables  for  constant  reference.  .  .  . 
It  would  be  easy  to  criticise  such  a  list  at  points  for  what  it  contains  or  omits,  and  to  add 
to  it  indefinitely.  Let  the  critic  do  his  best— or  worst — and  then  go  on  and  make  a 
better."  Literary  World,  Boston,  Mass. 

"  What  is  an  historical  novel  ?  The  question  has  received  many  different  answers  ; 
and  a  frtsh  one  is  now  attempted  by  Mr.  Jonathan  Nield,  who  has  compiled  A  Guide 
to  the  Best  Historical  Ncvels  and  Tales,  just  published  by  Mr.  Elkin  Mathews  and 
Messrs.  Putnam,  of  New  York.  .  .  .  As  for  saying  that  a  man  cannot  project  him- 
self into  a  past  age  50  as  completely  to  represent  its  idiosyncracy  in  every  particular,  and 
that  he  should  therefore  abstain  from  the  attempt,  Mr.  Nield  very  truly  says  that  neither 
can  a  man  identify  himself  with  the  moral  and  social  atmosphere  of  twenty  years  ago  so 
entirely  as  this  criticism  requiies.  It  is  enough  that  he  can  do  it  sufficiently  to  make  his 
characters  living  realities."  Standard  (Leading  Article). 

"  It  may  be  reasonably  asked  whether  most  of  us  do  not  gain  a  clearer  notion  of  the 
policies  of  the  two  great  Cardinals  who  built  up  the  French  monarchy  in  the  seventeenth 
century,  or  of  the  mysterious  and  alluring  character  of  Henri  Quatre,  from  Dumas 
than  from  Michelet.  At  any  rate,  Mr.  Nield  thinks  so,  and  most  readers  will  be  prepared 
to  admit  that  his  able  preface  makes  out  a  very  strong  case  for  such  an  educational  use 
of  historical  novels  as  his  full  and  carefully  classified  lists  make  possible." 

The  Manchester  Guardian  (Leading  Article). 

"I  have  abstained  from  some  excellent  arguments  advanced  by  Mr.  Jonathan  Nield 
in  A  Guide  to  the  Rest  Historical  Novels  and  Tales,  published  a  few  days  since  by  Mr. 
Elkin  Mathews ;  and  purposely,  that  I  might  have  the  pleasure  of  referring  the  reader  to 
a  terse  and  careful  piece  of  work,  at  the  end  of  which  he  will  find  a  Bibliography  setting 
him  ...  in  the  way  to  discover  whatever  of  importance  has  been  said  for  or  against 
historical  fiction.  The  little  book  contains,  besides,  a  well-reasoned  Introduction." 

Mr.  A.  T.  QuiLLER-CoucH.in  The  Dally  Hews. 


"  Manifestly  the  Public  Libraries  ought  to  b«  equipped  for  serious  reading.  . 
And  the  obvions  direct  method  to  equip  them  is  to  organise  an  Association,  to  work  if 
possible  with  the  librarians.  .  .  .  The  first  business  of  such  an  association  would  be 
to  get  '  Guides  '  to  various  fields  of  human  interest  written,  guides  that  should  be  clear, 
explicit  bibliographies.  ...  I  may  note  here  a  very  good  little  book  by  Mr.  J.  Nield 
A  Guide  to  the  Best  Historical  Novels,  which  would  be  useful  to  librarians  in  revising 
that  department  of  fiction."  Mr.  H.  G.  WELLS,  in  Mankind  In  the  Making. 

"  If  the  modest  tone  in  which  Mr.  Nield  puts  forth  his  work  tends  to  prejudice  us 
in  his  favour,  the  industry  and,  still  more,  the  judgment  evinced  in  his  task  of  selection 
become  so  many  positive  merits.  His  Guide  cannot,  indeed,  be  too  highly  recom- 
mended as  a  chronological  classification  of  the  best  historical  romances,  according  to  the 
centuries  and  periods  which  they  severally  illustrate."  The  Bookseller. 

"  Mr.  Nield's  scheme  is  all  right,  and  his  list,  as  far  as  one  may  judge  by  an  exami- 
nation of  four  or  five  periods,  is  admirable.  .  .  .  The  writer's  suggestions,  too,  as  to 
various  courses  of  reading  are  instructive  and  pertinent ;  it  is  apparent  that  he  has  a 
just  view  of  the  historical  novel  as  an  implement  of  education  ;  he  rightly  shuns  those 
numerous  novels  which  abound  in  anachronism  and  'are  harmful  in  that  they  present 
us  with  a  misleading  conception  of  some  personality  or  period.'  " 

lew  York  Times. 

"  The  Guidt  .  .  .  shows  a  wide  range  of  knowledge,  and  is  likely  to  be  a  very 
useful  list.  .  .  .  An  introduction  deals  sensibly  with  the  question  what  an  historical 
novel  is."  Tbe  Athenaeum. 

"  So  admirable  is  the  arrangement  of  the  volume,  and  so  interesting  its  contents. 
.  .  .  This  book  should  be  in  every  library,  whilst  real  lovers  of  historical  romance, 
on  once  becoming  acquainted  with  it,  will  wish  to  possess  a  copy  of  the  Guide  for 
constant  use.  To  the  elders  this  book  will  recall  past  pleasures  in  the  company  of 
familiar  friends  in  romance.  To  the  young  it  will  call  up  visions  of  delightful  reading  in 
the  future.  And  if  we  look  to  the  best  historical  fiction  for  the  imaginative  interpretation 
of  life  in  the  past,  its  great  personages,  events,  and  movements,  all  leading  up  to  our 
own  time,  Mr.  Nield's  '  Guide*  may  prove  a  key  to  unlock  for  us  the  moving  drama  of 
the  world's  history."  The  Inquirer 

"This  book  is  indispensable  for  all  teachers  who  believe  in  the  educational  value  of 
historical  fiction.  It  contains  an  interesting  introduction,  a  classified  lUt  of  the  best 
historical  novels  and  tales,  suggestive  courses  of  reading  for  boys  and  girls,  and  an  exten- 
sive bibliography  of  the  subject.  Though  Mr.  Nield  does  not  appear  to  be  himself  a 
teacher  or  primarily  interested  in  education,  he  displays  considerable  insight  into  the 
needs  of  the  teacher,  and  shows  acquaintance  with  various  educational  books  and  papers 
which  would  naturally  be  outside  the  ken  of  the  mere  literary  man.  .  .  .  We  heartily 
commend  the  book  to  our  readers  ;  it  combines  the  excellences  of  a  useful  work  of 
reference  and  a  dainty  gift-book  in  quite  an  extraordinary  degree." 

The  School  World. 

"  Only  a  special  devotion  to  the  historical  novel  .  .  .  could  have  qualified  him 
to  lay  such  an  omnivorous  feast  befoie  the  readers  of  the  books  he  inventories.  For  he 
has  not  merely  given  a  catalogue  of  historical  novels  .  .  .  but  gives  a  list  of  what 
he  thinks  the  principal  historical  novels.  In  this  he  wisely  casts  a  very  wide  net,  seeing 
that  he  has  to  suit  all  ages  and  sects  of  readers.  ...  A  good  work  of  reference, 
which  quite  probably  includes  everything  that  au  intelligent  boy  is  likely  to  enjoy." 

Academy  and  Literature. 

"  There  is  apparently  no  end  to  the  ambitions  and  achievements  of  bibliographers. 
They  are  assiduous  workers  in  every  possible  field  of  literary  endeavor,  and  their  labours 
reach  beyond  what  many  less  indefatigable  investigators  would  consider  insurmountable 
obstacles.  The  latest  bibliographer  to  publish  his  work — it  must  be  remembered  that 
many  valuable  bibliographies  never  pass  the  manuscript  stage — is  Jonathan  Nield.  .  .  . 
The  general  reader  will  find  Mr.  Nield's  preface  the  most  entertaining  part  of  his  book." 

Boston  Evening  Transcript. 

"  A  useful  volume.  .  .  .  The  idea  of  the  book,  the  arranging  of  historical  tales 
according  to  centuries,  is  a  good  one.  and  worked  out  with  much  care." 

The  Spectator. 


"  His  list  is  the  best  and  most  carefully  compiled  we  have  seen."  The  Pilot. 

"  A  useful  volume."  Hew  York  Commercial  Advertiser. 

*'  The  book  is  loth  handy  to  consult  and  accurately  compiled.  It  should  have  a 
place  in  every  reference  library."  Scotsman. 

"  The  new  volume  possesses  what  the  first  volume  lacked,  complete  indexes  to 
Authors  and  Titles,  and  the  value  has  thus  been  vastly  enhanced  of  a  work  which  holds 
a  unique  place  in  the  reference  library,  and  is  a  monument  to  the  indu-try  and  patient 
insight  of  its  author."  Glasgow  Herald. 

"  A  highly  suggestive  and  interesting  book.  .  .  .  The  list  is  exhaustive  and 
intelligent.  ...  An  invaluable  guide.  Daily  Mall. 


"  Mr.  Nield  has  given  us  a  good  piece  of  work,  for  which  all  lovers  of  historical 
novels  and  all  teachers  of  history  in  schools  should  be  grateful.  .  .  .  He  supplies  an 
interesting  and  well-written  introduction,  as  well  as  a  valuable  bibliography  of  articles 
and  books  on  the  subject.  .  .  .  His  Guide  stands  on  its  own  feet,  and  stands  well. 
.  .  .  The  two  short  lists  of  books,  one  for  boys  and  one  for  girls,  seem  to  us  likely  to 
be  very  helpful.  Mr.  Nield  has  our  very  best  wishes  for  his  success." 

Journal  of  Education. 

"  Suggestive  and  useful.    Discriminating  introduction."          Educational  Times. 

"  A  useful  little_  manual  .  .  .  which  arranges  the  historical  fiction  of  the  world's 
literature  in  something  like  chronological  order,  and  gives  an  indication  of  the  time  and 
place  covered  by  each.  ...  That  Mr.  Nield  has  done  his  work  intelligently  all 
readers  will  agree."  Mew  York  Herald. 

"  That  Mr.  Jonathan  Nield's  Guide  .  .  .  should  so  soon  have  reached  a 
second  edition  shows  how  highly  the  little  volume  has  been  appreciated,  and  how  great 
has  been  the  need  for  a  really  useful  book  of  this  kind." 

Dally  Hewi  (Leading  Article). 

"  His  opinion  is  seen  to  be  of  value  as  that  of  an  industrious  literary  man  with  a 
considerable  share  of  taste  and  good  judgment,  enabling  him  to  successfully  carry 
through  a  very  notable  and  arduous  design.  .  .  .  As  the  bibliography  attached  to  his 
little  volume  shows,  there  is  practically  nothing  pertaining  to  the  historical  novel  which 
Mr.  Nield  has  not  studied  and  made  a  note  of.  ...  Within  the  limits  set  himself, 
Mr.  Nield  has  done  his  work  in  a  broad  and  catholic  spirit." 

Liverpool  Dally  Pest. 

"  A  painstaking  and  useful  piece  of  work.  .  .  .  In  an  interesting  introduction 
the  author  explains  the  principle  on  which  he  has  inserted  some  books  and  omitted 
others  in  his  catalogue.  Large  omissions  there  must  necessarily  be  in  any  work  of  the 
sort  if  it  is  not  to  reach  to  enormous  proportions,  but  we  are  bound  to  say  that  we  found 
every  book  of  which  we  happened  to  think  in  its  proper  place."  The  Guardian. 

"  No  one  can  make  even  a  superficial  examination  of  this  work,  and  especially  of 
the  bibliography  appended  to  it,  without  recognising  the  vast  amount  of  painstaking 
labour  that  has  been  involved  in  its  production.  .  .  .  The  principles  which  have  been 
followed  in  the  compilation  of  the  work  are  set  forth  in  an  interesting  introduction, 
manifesting  fulness  of  information  and  soundness  of  literary  judgment.  .  .  .  Mani- 
festly the  product  of  immense  labour  and  much  thought.'1 

Aberdeen  Free  Presi. 


"  For  the  mass  of  men  and  women  .  .  .  history,  except  through  the  medium 
of  fiction,  does  not  exist  .  .  .  Mr.  Nield's  book  is,  accordingly,  a  guide  to  facts  as 
well  as  to  fiction.  .  .  .  He  has  written  a  bright  preface  on  the  historical  novel  as  an 
instrument  of  instruction."  Vanity  Fair. 

"  The  list  of  novels  .  .  .  has  evidently  been  prepared  with  great  care  and 
diligence  ...  In  addition  to  the  lists  there  is  an  interesting  introduction  " 

The  Publishers'  Circular. 

"  A  very  carefully  selected  list.  ...  The  work  will  be  a  valuable  aid  to 
librarians."  The  Library  Assistant. 

"  It  is  possible,  if  one  prefers  to  get  his  history  along  the  primrose  path,  to  acquaint 
himself  with  nearly  every  epoch  of  ancient  and  mojdern  civilization  by  the  perusal  of 
historical  fiction.  Mr.  Jonathan  Nield  has  brought  this  out  in  detail  in  his  Gm'tfe,  .  .  . 
Writers  of  historical  fiction  in  search  of  unexplored  tracts  may  get  guidance  from  this 
book."  Hew  York  Mall  and  Express. 

"  Mr.  Jonathan  Nield's  excellent  Guide  has,  I  believe,  sold  very  well  both  in 
England  and  America.  .  .  .  When  all  has  been  said  for  nnd  against  novels  a  good 
deal  of  knowledge  may  most  pleasantly  and  easily  be  imbibed  therefrom,  if  only  a  little 
care  be  taken  in  their  selection."  To-day  ("  The  Diary  of  a  Bookseller  ").

"  Mr.  Nield  had  a  happy  idea  when  he  thought  of  this  book,  for  it  gives  information
